<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>By Allison Elliott-Shannon</p>
<p><strong>(Oct. 22, 2015)</strong> — Open Access is a consistent theme in university libraries across the world, as researchers seek to share and collaborate in new ways. “Open for Collaboration” is the theme of <a href="http://www.openaccessweek.org/" target="_blank">Open Access Week</a> 2015, a global event taking place Oct. 19–25. As scholars, research institutions and funding agencies acknowledge the benefits of <a href="http://libguides.uky.edu/OpenAccess" target="_blank">open access</a>, they have made an increasing number of scholarly content freely available online for people to reuse and build upon for innovation. </p>
<p>An advocate for open access, <a href="http://libraries.uky.edu/" target="_blank">University of Kentucky Libraries</a> has forged collaborative partnerships with various campus units to enable free online access to unique research and scholarship via UK’s institutional repository, <a href="http://uknowledge.uky.edu/" target="_blank">UKnowledge</a>. UKnowledge houses <a href="http://uknowledge.uky.edu/featured.html">remarkable collections</a>. Just like the theme of Open Access Week, UK Libraries is open for collaboration. UK faculty and students interested in using the resources and services made available by UKnowledge can contact <a href="mailto:adrian.ho@uky.edu">Adrian Ho</a>, director of Digital Scholarship at UK Libraries, for information and assistance. </p>
<p>Highlights from the UKnowledge Open Access collection:</p>
<p><a href="http://uknowledge.uky.edu/ablation" target="_blank">Ablation Workshop</a></p>
<p><a href="http://works.bepress.com/alexandre_martin">Alexandre Martin</a> from the UK College of Engineering Department of Mechanical Engineering has been a key organizer of the NASA-sponsored Ablation Workshop in the past few years. To ensure high visibility and ready access to the outcomes of the workshop, Martin collaborated with UK Libraries to publish online proceedings on UKnowledge. Scientists and engineers anywhere in the world who specialize in aerothermodynamic ablation can now effortlessly access papers, presentations and test cases discussed at the workshop with just a few clicks. </p>

<p>To celebrate ¡Viva México! in the 2013-14 academic year, <a href="https://anthropology.as.uky.edu/users/capool0">Chris Pool</a> and Barry Kidder from the UK College of Arts and Sciences <a href="https://anthropology.as.uky.edu/">Department of Anthropology</a> annotated facsimile codices housed in UK Libraries’ <a href="http://libraries.uky.edu/SC" target="_blank">Special Collections Research Center</a> and had them digitized for a virtual exhibit. The annotated images, which can be examined in detail using UKnowledge’s zoom and pan functionalities, tell little-known stories about the ancient cultures in Mexico. Some intriguing images in the exhibit have attracted attention from around the world and have been downloaded hundreds of times. </p>

<p class="first">The Committee on Social Theory at The University of Kentucky is hosting Professor Mahmood Mamdani as its Fall Distinguished Speaker. On October 2, Dr. Mamdani will give a talk entitled “Political Violence and Political Justice: A Critique of Criminal Justice as Accountability.” The talk will take place at 3:30 pm in the W.T. Young Library Auditorium.</p>
<p>Dr. Mamdani is a Professor of Anthropology, Political Science and African Studies at Columbia University. He is also the Herbert Lehman Professor of Government at Columbia University’s School of Internal Affairs. Additionally, he is the Director of the Makerere Institute of Social Research in Kampala, Uganda.</p>
<p>A native of Uganda, Dr. Mamdani was awarded one of 26 scholarships to study in the United States when Uganda won its independence. After graduating from the University of Pittsburgh, Mamdani joined the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). He earned a Ph.D. from Harvard in 1972. While conducting dissertation research in Uganda he was expelled by Idi Amin. After the overthrow of Amin, Mamdani returned to Uganda, but his citizenship was eventually revoked as a result of his scholarship’s criticism of the government. During his career Mamdani has been visiting professor at the University of Michigan, University of Durban-Westville, the Nuhru Memorial Museum and Library, and Princeton University. He was also the inaugural chair of African studies at the University of Cape Town.</p>
<p>Professor Mamdani’s current work explores the intersection between politics and culture, a comparative study of colonialism since 1452, the history of civil war and genocide in Africa, the Cold War and the War on Terror, and the history and theory of human rights. His most recent book, Saviors and Survivors: Darfur, Politics, and the War on Terror (2009), investigates how conflict in Darfur began as a civil war and transformed into a War on Terror.</p>

With the internet, phones, and fast travel, we can build relationships and networks in new ways - breaking through the barriers of national boundaries. This development of relationships and their influence despite national borders is known as transnationalism, a social phenomenon that we will be focusing on throughout a four part series. Join the conversation as we kick off the series with Lauren Copeland, a graduate student from the <a href="https://gws.as.uky.edu/">Department of Gender &amp; Women’s Studies</a>, Pathmanesan Sanmugeswaran, a graduate student in <a href="https://anthropology.as.uky.edu/">Anthropology</a>, and<a href="https://hs.as.uky.edu/users/amgr233"> Agata Grzelczak</a>, a graduate student in <a href="http://hs.as.uky.edu/">Hispanic Studies</a>, as they interview <a href="http://www.mmg.mpg.de/staff-members-scholarship-holders-and-guests/senior-research-partners/prof-nina-glick-schiller/">Nina Glick-Schiller</a>, one of the pioneers of transnational studies.

Geographers’ engagements with issues of justice, however, have always been defined by wariness toward political philosophies of justice. These are variously considered too liberal, too distributive in their orientation, or too universalizing. The wariness, in short, indicates the parameters that define the prevalent spatial imaginary of radical and critical human geography: self-consciously oppositional, concerned with the production of structural relations, sensitive to context and difference. Barnett explore two overlapping strands of contemporary political philosophy and political theory that have recently developed arguments for ‘the priority of injustice’ in the elaboration of democratic theory. </span></p>

<div class="featured-nodes-image"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://socialtheory.as.uky.edu/sites/default/files/Anna-Secor_REV.jpg" alt="" /></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>By Gail Hairston</p>
<p><strong style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">(April 8, 2015)</strong><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;"> ‒ </span><a href="http://geography.as.uky.edu/users/ajseco2" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Anna Secor</a><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">, professor of geography, social theory, and gender and women’s studies at the University of Kentucky </span><a href="http://www.as.uky.edu/" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">College of Arts and Sciences</a><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">, has been named the university’s first Hajja Razia Sharif Sheikh Islamic Studies Professor.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">The endowed professorship was created by Dr. Hamid Hussain Sheikh Sr. (a Lexington obstetrics and gynecology specialist) and his wife Amy Lee Sheikh, in memory of his mother Hajja Razia Sharif Sheikh. A native of Lahore, Pakistan, Hajja Sheikh was active in her community and a leader in her faith. Although she did not receive a formal education, she held a strong belief in education and encouraged all eight of her children to pursue a college education.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">“One of my main goals is to counter anti-Islam sentiments through educational means by Muslims and non-Muslim university scholars,” said Sheikh. “Against the prevalent concept of the world, honoring all women, especially one’s mother, is a key principle of Islam. I am thankful to UK, (College of Arts and Sciences) Dean Kornbluh, Laura Sutton (of the college’s development office) and all involved in honoring my mother, bestowing her with the title of professorship.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">“My late mother was a kind, pious, generous, education-loving lady,” said Sheikh. “And I know she would be greatly pleased that the University of Kentucky chose to give her the rare honor of a professorship named after her, and she would be just as pleased that another woman, Dr. Anna Secor, is the inaugural professor.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">The new professorship will be devoted to the enhancement of Islamic studies education through the examination of existing research coupled with the generation of new ideas, concepts and research findings in the areas of Islamic culture, history or civilization.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">“I am honored to be named the first Hajja Razia Sharif Sheikh Islamic Studies Professor,” said Secor. “This position provides a wonderful opportunity for me to deepen a research agenda that reflects my commitment to enhancing understanding of the Muslim world. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">“Turkey is such an interesting place for Islamic Studies because it is a secular, democratic state with a majority Muslim population. I am especially interested in how Islamic values and lifestyles are actively transforming ideas about secularism, politics, economics, and daily life in Turkey.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">Secor’s background and research interests complement perfectly the goals of the Hajja Razia Sharif Sheikh professorship. She earned her undergraduate degree at Oberlin College and her master’s and doctoral degrees at the University of Colorado. Today, her research interests are political geography, gender, social theory and the Middle East. Her research centers on a political-geographic question: How do spatial processes – such as those that demarcate territories and bodies, inclusions and exclusions – produce political subjects?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">Recently, Secor was awarded a $191,000 National Science Foundation grant for her research proposal titled “The Role of Religion in Public Life in Turkey.” She will collaborate with Pervin Gokariksel of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill to examine how religion interacts with the secular and political world. Specifically, they will conduct an empirical investigation of the varying practices and attitudes concerning the public role of Islam in Turkish society, with added focus on the devout Sunni Muslims. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">Secor has published other research based on her ongoing fieldwork in Turkey. For example, in a recent National Science Foundation research project “The Veil, the Gaze and Ethics” Secor and Banu Gökariksel of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill analyzed Turkey’s successful </span><a href="http://veilingfashion.unc.edu/about.php" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">veiling-fashion industry</a><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">, which in recent years has melded </span><a href="http://veilingfashion.unc.edu/index.php" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">fashion trends with Muslim mores</a><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">, and how it reflects and impacts changing social, religious and political conditions of the region.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">In her online biography, Secor explains, “The strands of my work – on the state, on the veil, on Islam, on the psyche – are the fields of my own struggle to understand how interiorities and exteriorities of various kinds (territorial, corporeal, psychic) are made and unmade, their very distinction nothing more than an effect of the impossibility of ever fixing the boundary between them.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">Thanks to the Sheikh family, now Secor has more latitude to further explore the intriguing juxtapositions of society and individuals.</span></p>

<p>(Feb. 2, 2015) — The University of Kentucky <a href="https://www.as.uky.edu/" target="_blank">College of Arts and Science's</a> <a href="http://socialtheory.as.uky.edu/about-social-theory" target="_blank">Committee on Social Theory</a> will host its 2015 lecture series, “Transnational Lives,” throughout the spring semester. This well-established series, organized around a different topic each year, gives the public access to lectures by four international scholars visiting the university campus to address a particular aspect of social theoretical thought from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. All lectures will be held on Fridays at 2 p.m. and are free to the public.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">Committee director Marion Rust said these are among “the most exciting intellectual opportunities available to the UK community.”</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.mmg.mpg.de/staff-members-scholarship-holders-and-guests/senior-research-partners/prof-nina-glick-schiller/" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Nina Glick Schiller</a><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;"> kicks off the lecture series Feb. 6 on the 18th floor of </span><a href="http://ukcc.uky.edu/cgi-bin/dynamo?maps.391+campus+0027" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Patterson Office Tower</a> <span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">with her lecture, “Perspectives on Nations Unbound: The Transnational Paradigm in the Current Conjecture." Schiller is the director of the Cosmopolitan Cultures Institute at the University of Manchester. She has written more than 80 articles and several books on migration, transnational processes and social relations, diasporic connections, and long distance nationalism. She has also conducted research in Haiti, the United States and Germany and has worked with migrants from all around the world. Her current research documents the experiential cosmopolitanism that accompanies migrants’ transformations to urban life.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.chavez.ucla.edu/content/otto-santa-ana" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Otto Santa Ana</a><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;"> will present his lecture "The Cowboy and the Goddess: News Myth-making About Immigrants," Feb. 27 in the Lexmark Room of the </span><a href="http://ukcc.uky.edu/cgi-bin/dynamo?maps.391+campus+0032" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Main Building</a><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">. Santa Ana, of UCLA, has spent the past 15 years focusing on language that constructs social hierarchies and on how mass media amplifies the construction of unjust social inequity. He has written several pieces on Latino Immigration including a book, "Brown Tide Rising" (2002), and the article "A May to Remember," which appeared in the Du Bois Review (2007).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">The third speaker in the series is </span><a href="http://floyaanthias.com/" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Floya Anthias</a><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">, who will present her lecture, "Transnational Mobilities and Translocational Belongings: Reflecting on Identities and Inequalities," April 3 on the 18th floor of </span><a href="http://ukcc.uky.edu/cgi-bin/dynamo?maps.391+campus+0027" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Patterson Office Tower</a><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">. Anthias, of the University of East London, has researched a range of theoretical and empirical concerns relating to a focus on racism, diaspora and hybridity; multiculturalism, gender and migration; labor market disadvantages; and class position. Recently, she has been developing the concept of translocational positionality as a way of addressing some of the difficulties identified with concepts of hybridity, identity and intersectionality. Her most recent book is titled "Contesting Integration, Engendering Migration."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">The fourth and final speaker in the series is </span><a href="http://literature.sdsu.edu/bios/william_nericcio.html" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">William Nericcio</a><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">, who will present his lecture "Chicanosmosis and the Transnational Imaginary (Imaginary): 21st Century Mextasy in and Beyond the Ivory Tower" in the President's Room of the </span><a href="http://finearts.uky.edu/singletary-center" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Singletary Center for the Arts</a><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;"> April 24. Nericcio serves as a professor on the faculty of the Center for Latin American Studies at San Diego State University. He is also the author of the award-winning "Tex[t]-Mex: Seductive Hallucinations of the 'Mexican' in America," "The Hurt Business: Oliver Mayer's Early Works Plus" and "Homer From Salinas: John Steinbeck's Enduring Voice for California." In his presentation, Nericcio will explore Chicanosmosis, a term that contemplates international intercourse through the semi-permeable fabric of the U.S./Latin American border.</span></p>

<div class="featured-nodes-image"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://socialtheory.as.uky.edu/sites/default/files/SocialTheoryCourse.jpg" alt="" /></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>by Sarah Schuetze</p>
<p>Sitting at the front of the room at a seminar table crowded with more students than anyone imagined, professor <a href="https://history.as.uky.edu/users/frclopz" target="_blank">Francie Chassen-Lopez</a> said, “I always say I have one foot on either side of the border.”</p>
<p>Chassen-Lopez is one of the four instructors teaching Social Theory 600, a graduate seminar called “Transnational Lives.” The professors include <a href="https://soc.as.uky.edu/users/aslibe2" target="_blank">Ana Liberato</a>, <a href="https://gws.as.uky.edu/users/mcalca2" target="_blank">Cristina Alcalde</a>, and <a href="https://wrd.as.uky.edu/users/spal224" target="_blank">Steven Alvarez</a>—each representing a different discipline and approach to the course. “What makes this so exciting,” Alcalde said, “is we’re all coming at this from different perspectives.”</p>
<p>In many ways, they all have one foot on either side of one kind of border or another—be it a disciplinary border or geographical one. They all describe themselves as living transnational lives. As they introduced themselves on the first day of class, each one discussed their relationship with national borders and the foundation of their interest in topics of migration and identity. </p>
<p>For instance, after studying and teaching in Mexico for 18 years, Chassen-Lopez returned to the U.S., an “immigrant in reverse,” as she put it. For over 20 years, she’s been teaching courses on Latin America at UK in the <a href="http://history.as.uky.edu/" target="_blank">History Department</a>. She noted that her work keeps extending backwards in time, from her previous work on modern Mexico to more recent projects on Mexico in the nineteenth century.</p>
<p>A social inequalities faculty in <a href="http://soc.as.uky.edu/" target="_blank">Sociology</a> since 2007, Liberato studies race, ethnicity and gender in the context of migration. Born and raised in the Dominican Republic, Liberato’s research is deeply connected to her experiences. One on-going project centers on Dominican immigrants in Switzerland while other comparative project examines Dominican migration in Spain, Switzerland and the U.S.. She’s also working on a project comparing Cuban and Dominican mobility.</p>
<p>Like the others, Alcalde explained that issues of transnationalism are both professional and personal for her. She has lived in England, the U.S., and Peru, which is where she was born. She is an associate professor in the <a href="https://gws.as.uky.edu/" target="_blank">Department of Gender and Women’s Studies</a>. One of her areas of interest is what she calls “return migration” among immigrants who go back to a place they had previously called home. Her current work “theorizes the ideas of home and belonging,” which changes, she explained, based on “different intersecting identities.”</p>
<p>Alvarez, an assistant professor in <a href="http://wrd.as.uky.edu/" target="_blank">Writing, Rhetoric, and Digital Media</a>, explained his own transnational life as a child of parents who were born six miles on either side of the Mexican-US border. His research has allowed him to “reconnect to my Mexican roots,” as he said. Since coming to UK in 2011, Alvarez has worked with immigrant students in the area, and he has taught a course at UK on “Mexington,” a Latino community in Lexington. He is interested in exploring language and literary hybridity in the course. </p>
<p>A few years ago, Liberato and Alcalde collaborated with Chassen-Lopez on a project about immigration, and the Transnational Lives course is an extension of that. As Liberato explained, “most immigrants in the world are transnational.” They invited Alvarez to join them so he could bring his literary expertise, as Chassen-Lopez explained to the class.</p>
<p>Liberato and Alcalde have co-taught a course together before on migration, but this is the first time any of them will be teaching along with three other professors. Which begs the question: How is that even done? </p>
<p>Every spring the <a href="http://socialtheory.as.uky.edu/" target="_blank">Committee on Social Theory</a>, which grants a <a href="https://socialtheory.as.uky.edu/http%3A/socialtheory.as.uky.edu/social-theory-graduate-certificate" target="_blank">graduate certificate</a>, offers the team-taught seminar—always with four professors. So, there is something of a template. Previous course themes/names for the seminar have included “Law, Sex, and Family” “Autobiography,” and “Security.” But previous seminars may not have spoken so directly to the professors’ personal backgrounds as “Transnational Lives” does with this team of four.</p>
<p>Following the model of past seminars, Chassen-Lopez, Liberato, Alcalde, and Alvarez will each lead a three-week unit. This means each takes a turn as the primary instructor, picking the texts students will read and directing discussion. But all the professors participate in every class, learning along with the other students. Each unit culminates with a reflection paper, graded by instructor in charge of that unit. </p>
<p><img alt="Social Theory graduate students listen to faculty discuss the course on the first day of class" src="/sites/default/files/resize/BrianConnorsMankePhotography2014-9943-480x320.jpg" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5; width: 480px; height: 320px; margin: 8px; float: right;" width="480" height="320" />Central to the three-week sections and to this curriculum is the integration of the Social Theory Spring Lecture Series. Beginning with <a href="http://www.mmg.mpg.de/staff-members-scholarship-holders-and-guests/senior-research-partners/prof-nina-glick-schiller/" target="_blank">Dr. Glick Schiller</a> on <a href="https://socialtheory.as.uky.edu/%E2%80%9Cperspectives-nations-unbound-transnational-paradigm-current-conjecture%E2%80%9D" target="_blank">February 6</a>, the Social Theory host visiting scholars who deliver a public lecture. Students enrolled in the Social Theory 600 seminar get the added bonus of reading the scholar’s work and discussing it in class with the author. A reception follows where the conversations raised in the lecture and class can continue over food and wine.</p>
<p><a href="https://socialtheory.as.uky.edu/disclosure" target="_blank">disClosure</a>, the Committee on Social Theory’s journal, will feature an issue on the course theme and include interviews with the guest speakers. The journal is edited by students pursuing the Social Theory Certificate (including those enrolled in “Transnational Lives”).</p>
<p>As professor <a href="https://socialtheory.as.uky.edu/user/694" target="_blank">Marion Rust</a>, Director of the Committee on Social Theory, has said, the enrollment for “Transnational Lives” reached the cap on the first day it was open. </p>
<p>The student body is composed of graduate students in English, Hispanic Studies, Gender and Women’s Studies, Education, Anthropology, and Philosophy. </p>
<p>The students mirror the professors’ excitement and investment in themes of identity, belonging, and migration. Many, likewise, live transnational lives, straddling one or more borders of all kinds. </p>
<p>With a mix of disciplines and backgrounds, the faculty and students of “Transnational Lives” are sure to traverse rich territory together this semester. </p>

<p>(April 28, 2014) — The 2014 issue of <a href="http://uknowledge.uky.edu/disclosure" target="_blank">disClosure</a>, an annual thematic publication dedicated to investigating and stimulating interest in new directions in contemporary social theory, is now available online through a collaboration between the University of Kentucky <a href="http://socialtheory.as.uky.edu/" target="_blank">Committee on Social Theory</a> (CST) and <a href="http://libraries.uky.edu/" target="_blank">UK Libraries</a>.</p>
<p>First published in 1992, the journal includes a variety of media including scholarly essays, poetry and visual art from a variety of disciplinary, geographical, and theoretical perspectives and genres. The journal aims to encourage work that employs innovative writing styles as well as formal scholarly work, and is edited by graduate students participating in the CST.</p>
<p>The 2014 issue of disClosure marks the first digital release of the journal in its 22-year history, providing a new platform to reach a larger audience. The issue explores the concept of “mapping,” drawing on the work of a variety of scholars, artists and acclaimed members of academia from a social theoretical perspective. The issue follows the theme of last year’s Social Theory 600 course and the CST Public Lecture Series, which featured visiting scholars Derek Gregory, Neil Brenner, Tom Conley, and Swati Chattopadhyay.</p>
<p>The CST was formed in 1989 “to counter traditional disciplinary narrowness in social thought, to build bridges between the humanities and social sciences, and to inform social research with transdisciplinary theoretical understandings.” It was one of the first such programs in the nation. Since its founding, the history of the CST has been one of gradual expansion. Today, it oversees a flourishing pedagogical and research program, and has more than 75 affiliated faculty members from colleges across UK.</p>
<p>The initial activity of the CST in the spring of 1989 was a public lecture series combined with a graduate seminar team-taught by four faculty. Today, its activities include a range of intellectual forums in which to study the expanding and increasingly important field of social theoretical issues. </p>

The committee's public lectures have featured leading national as well as international social theorists, and a variety of prominent theoreticians have appeared in disClosure. <a href="http://uknowledge.uky.edu/st_lectures/" target="_blank">Videos of the past lectures</a> are available for viewing online. In addition to these activities, the committee has also sponsored several regional Commonwealth Social Theory Conferences on companion topics, and from 2002 to 2005 co-sponsored, with the <a href="http://appalachiancenter.as.uky.edu/" target="_blank">UK Appalachian Center</a>, a prestigious Rockefeller Foundation grant that brought together local activists with theorists of globalization.</p>
<p>Students and faculty from across UK have participated in the CST’s activities since its inception, either earning certificates or investing with their research and teaching. UK Libraries partners with the CST to provide online access to disClosure via <a href="http://uknowledge.uky.edu/" target="_blank">UKnowledge</a>. In addition to the latest issue, UK Libraries has also made the complete back run of the journal freely available online, as a means to support and celebrate the scholarship of social theory, and as a contribution to knowledge sharing for the public good. </p>
